I've been through this and the WS4 backphones is definitely the way to go. They are the best sounding, and give you the option for the highest rated after market phones. That said, you could start with the wired backphones if you want, they are excellent. It's what I used the last 6 months.

Backphones. Can't really use full headphones in the warm weather.

100% Backphones. With the adapter you can plug any standard headphones in or even iPhone earbuds for the Summer months. The WS4 gives you total control over what type of headphones that the WS5 don't.

I like the ws4 for the options. You can make or buy full headphones your ws4 snaps into or use the back phones. Options are nice.

Remember the cheap walkmen type. Not much bigger then earbuds on a adjustable band. They plug right into the remote and apply little pressure.

Its all about your own personal preference and comfort. Everyone is a bit different. I Bought my Deus with the WS4 backphones, along with the optional mini-jack adapter for using any earbuds. Weather is a huge factor along with location and ambient noise in that area. I have since purchased a deteknics headset that the ws4 puck slips into. Great sound and comfort, blocks a lot of ambient noise (helpful on properties next to busy roads) but in the heat of summer I still use the backphones or earbuds. I hope you enjoy whatever machine you end up buying. happy digging!
